I’m just saying it’s not “corporate jealousy”, it’s a rational strategic decision. If you want it to stop, you have to affect the rationale.

There were no repercussions at all to their competitor (and, the Supreme Court sided with them), so it was logically the right move for a corporation. If the country or its people don’t bring the repercussions now, why wouldn’t these things continue to happen? It’s not a corporations job to regulate itself. If anything we can only blame the short sightedness and pettiness of humanity, which is causing bigger issues to flourish today.

> I really dislike that so much of hacker culture is $$ focused now.

I don’t think that’s hacker culture. It’s just the mainstream adoption of hacker culture, don’t let it replace the real thing in your mind. When lots and lots of people started playing candy crush on phones, it wasn’t gamer culture that changed, just the public perception of gaming.

There are still people out there who conform to the description you laid out. Are there lots and lots of them? No. It does seem to be a growing segment though.

It seems more likely that necrophilia was a major problem (compared to today), given how the Egyptians handled it and stories like Botan Dōrō. Very strange that you’re saying cloning voices with AI is “exactly what they mean”…?

It's a little worse than that. From now on, blackhats will have a favorite #1 browser to pentest, at least for the next few weeks.

And who's going to take the bet that they'll find nothing? Not me.

It is very strange to me that their attitude is "no one was impacted" and this is "hypothetical". Any serious company would immediately consider this to be a case where everyone was impacted! This is like coming home to the worst neighborhood on the planet to find your door wide open, and immediately putting on a blindfold so you can continue to pretend nothing's changed.

> We never would've gotten GPT-3 and GPT-4 if this didn't happen.

"We never would've gotten [thing that exists today] if [thing that happened] didn't happen", is practically a tautology. As you saw from the willingness of Microsoft to throw compute as well as to hire ex-OpenAI folks, as you can see from the many "spinoffs" others have started (such as Anthropic), whether or not we would've gotten GPT-3 and GPT-4 is immaterial to this discussion. What people here are asking for is open AI, which we might, all things considered, have actually gotten from a bona fide non profit.
